Oleic Acid is a monounsaturated fatty acid and an important lipid-based raw material used in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetic, food, and specialty formulations. It is a naturally occurring omega-9 fatty acid and is commonly obtained from vegetable oils and other natural lipid sources.
Swapnroop Pharma manufactures and supplies Oleic Acid in India for qualified pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetic, and formulation applications. Different grades can be supplied according to purity, fatty-acid composition, source, acid value, iodine value, peroxide value, and applicable quality requirements.
Oleic Acid can provide useful emollient, surfactant, penetration-enhancing, solubilizing, and lipid-phase properties in pharmaceutical and topical formulations.
Potential applications include:
Oleic Acid is commonly used as a lipid-phase ingredient and emollient in topical preparations. Its fatty-acid characteristics can help modify the texture and spreading properties of creams, lotions and other semisolid formulations.
It may also be investigated as a skin-penetration-enhancing excipient in selected topical and transdermal drug-delivery systems.
Oleic Acid is chemically known as (9Z)-Octadec-9-enoic Acid. It contains an 18-carbon chain with one cis double bond.
It has the molecular formula C18H34O2 and a molecular weight of 282.47 g/mol.
At room temperature, Oleic Acid is generally supplied as a clear to pale yellow oily liquid, although its physical appearance can vary with purity, temperature and grade.
